This comprehensive five-week course explores the fundamental elements and current trends for conducting a thorough assessment of urban sustainability. The curriculum begins with an introduction to the dimensions of urban sustainability, featuring insights from Nobel Laureates on climate change and nanoscience. Students then explore scientific tools available for sustainable cities, including nanomaterials, green infrastructure, and smart grids. The course progresses through impact assessment frameworks, integrated design approaches, and city modeling techniques like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). The final week presents the paradigm of circular cities and analyzes the University of British Columbia's Sustainability Plan as a case study. Throughout the course, students develop practical tools for analyzing the impact of urban sustainability policies and creating comprehensive evaluation models for the built environment.
